Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

(1) Availability of substitutes. Where fewer substitutes are available, demand will tend to be more inelastic. (2) The importance of being unimportant. Where an item represents a smaller portion of a total budget, demand will tend to be more inelastic. (3) The time dimension. The greater the time available to adjust behavior, the more elastic demand tends to be.
